McCarthy Studios began in 1987 as jazz dance school call McCarthy
Dance Academy. It has since evolved into a highly respected performing
arts facility offering classes in the "triple threat" - dance, drama and singing.
Classes are held in a relaxed and fun manner and attempt to cater to all
students - from the casual "once a week" to the more seriously inclined.
Over the years, using the skills they have learnt from the Studio, many students
have taken leading roles in their school musical productions and in
professional theatre. The confidence that the
students gain is invaluable in their adult life
and in whatever direction their employment
takes them.
All eisteddfod groups - jazz, musical theatre,
tap and song and dance - are all NON SELECTIVE
- if you have the will, we will find
the way!!
McCarthy Studios is held together by Cheryl
McCarthy who worked professionally as a
dancer/actor and then as a producer/
choreographer firstly in Sydney and
then in London. Cheryl is now a highly experienced
teacher and together with her skills learnt from working professionally,
is able to bring the students to a very high standard which is evident
from the successes the Studio enjoys, both in groups and in solo performances.
The Studio has a varied group of teachers - some are trained
though the studio, others work professionally and impart their skills in between
their own performance schedules whilst
others are specifically trained in specialist
teaching - acting, hip-hop, singing, acrobatics
etc. Guest teachers are also introduced
throughout the year to further enhance the students'
learning experiences.
